Creator's Key Takeaways

Cruise drink packages can get expensive very fast. Often about $60 to $100 average per day.

The good news, there are legit ways to avoid buying one without breaking the rules or getting your liquor confiscated.

Drink packages only make sense if you're drinking five to eight plus drinks per day.

Casino players get complimentary drinks all the time while you're playing in the casino.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Bring your own non-alcoholic drinks, up to 12 cans or cartons, to mix in your room and save on packages.
✓Pay as you go if you drink two to four drinks a day, and stick to happy hour or cheaper drinks.
✓Get free drinks at events, art auctions, tastings, or as a casino player.
✓Buy bottles of wine instead of individual drinks to split with your group and save money.
✓Drink heavy in port where drinks are cheaper, then return to the ship.
✓Book all-inclusive cruise deals that bundle drinks and Wi-Fi, which may be cheaper than separate packages.

Drink packages are expensive and may not be worth it for casual drinkers. — Assess your drinking habits; if you drink less than five drinks a day, pay as you go instead.
Sneaking alcohol can lead to confiscation and ruin the trip. — Avoid sneaking alcohol and use legal methods like bringing allowed bottles or getting free drinks.
